  • Most memorable Next-Level Performance

    As a member of the Cadets, the DCI Championship victory performance transcended any prior musical performance of my life! The culmination of months of hard work and preparation with other amazing percussionists like Thom Hannum and Tom Aungst left an unforgettable impact on my life and career.
  • What Drives Your Creativity?

    I am thankful for the many videos from other artists, educators, and composers that help to get my wheels turning. Researching literary illustrations such as the words "Sky Fire" and "Speak" can also empower my creativity.
